“The property was not as nice as I expected it to be, especially after looking at the photos when booking.”

There was damp on the bathroom ceiling, this is due to the extractor fan not working. The light shade in the back double bedroom was smashed. Several lights did not work. There was a sugar bowl in the cupboard that had gone solid. Around the coving were spiders and webs! Despite the negatives nothing effected my holiday. They are mainly cosmetic and can be easily rectified.

On a positive note, there was a nice welcome of Cornish biscuits, tea, coffee, and milk in the fridge. Beds are uber comfy and warm. Towels that were supplied were soft. All kitchen equipment available and extra bits in the cupboard such as clothes horse and high chair.
The actually site is lovely and very well maintained. A friendly bar which is reasonably priced and good food served.

“There was a strong smell of urine in the upstairs bathroom; lino in kitchen and upstairs bathroom old and will soon need replacement; outdoor bench requires replacement as not usable in current condition; varnish peeling from dining room table which left a 'sticky' effect; double bedroom at back has broken lampshade, mould on curtains, and was dusty.”

Property was a bit 'tired'. Trays in oven hadn't been cleaned.
However beds very comfortable with plenty of pillows and towels, and clean crisp linen. House is a nice size and decor is generally very good. Well equipped kitchen, and lots of nice touches like toilet rolls, biscuits, milk in fridge, leaflets, books, DVDs, games, cleaning products including tea towels, washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets.
Site was lovely and well maintained. But it is not really feasible to walk to the beach as it is 15 minutes down a busy, windy road with no footpaths. Loved the gym and the pool was big enough for youngsters. Jacuzzi wasn't heated. Steam room was lovely, adequate changing rooms and shower, nice bar area, very friendly staff.

“The listing said cotbed on the description but when I arrived it only had a travelcot with a rock hard base and no mattress.”

However, once speaking to an agent I was told that if I purchased a mattress that was more suitable that it would be refunded, which it was. Also, the bolt on the lower part of the door was broken which was fixed the next day when I complained. Overall it was very quick to resolve the issues and it didn’t effect a lovely stay.

“I have already sent feedback to you about a month ago and have had no response.”

The holiday let through Sykes was extremely disappointing on some levels.
The location, the cottage and surrounding area were lovely.
Bearing in mind we were in a heat wave in Cornwall at the time, there were no facilities to sit outside!
What was left there, was a wooden table with bench seats attached, that were black with age and weather, and not at all suitable to sit on, or eat off. Also it is broken, the top coming away from the bottom.
There were no other garden chairs provided, so we had to go and purchase two!
The bed in the double at the back, bends right down when you sit in the side of it, and not comfortable, suggesting that it is overdue for replacement.
The dining table top is sticky, and you can't alter that. If you put anything paper on the table (which is not unreasonable), it tears when you lift it off.
The kitchen equipment leaves a lot to be desired. The toaster needs bullying to work sometimes, the saucepans are
obviously the owners unwanted items, and are oversized. we had to go and purchase smaller pans as there was just
the two of us. The kitchen knives have handles that are loose, and they are not at all sharp.
The television speakers distort and we had problems deciphering dialogue sometimes, and the radio in the kitchen is a joke.
What I would suggest has happened here, is that the owners have equipped the cottage with lots of their own unwanted
items, or are possibly the originals, and that Sykes either haven't inspected the place, or have decided to overlook these things.
This is not acceptable, please sort it before too may others are disappointed.
Extremely disappointed with what looked on paper to be lovely.
I seem to have paid way over the odds for a not so good experience.

“The 15 minutes walk to the beach didn't say it was on the road and a very fast walk.”
